High technology meets summer fun in the Atlantic Pools Chateau Oval Above Ground Pool - 54 in. Deep. This uniquely designed above ground pool offers a vast improvement on traditional steel wall models - not just in its durability but in its look. No buttresses required means it's got a sleek modern design that you'll love in your backyard. And the durable resin composite walls resist weathering and heavy use better than steel. This pool is available in a variety of sizes and with your choice of maintenance and filter accessories.

Features of the Chateau High-tech construction and designThe Chateau is super-strong and built using corrosion-free resin materials. Internal ribbing supports the top seat while a double-lock system holds the base firm. Inside and out this pool is positively rugged.

Resistant to wind sleet rain or snow ...

The walls of the Chateau are covered with a Texture-Kote protective finish which is applied using a patented process that means your pool won't rust chip peel or splinter. The Texture-Kote finish is applied to the pool wall itself and includes layers of alkaline zinc bonderizing chromic rinse for corrosion protection and a final Protectoloc baked-on coating to cover the frame. All of this means that your pool will look great - and hold up - through changing weather conditions. And don't expect the top rails and uprights to rust or chip either ... they're made from 100% non-corroding resin which is resistant by nature to the elements so doesn't even require a protective coating.

There are two different types of filter systems available to choose from cartridge and sand systems.

What's the difference?

Cartridge Filter Systems catch smaller particles than sand systems giving you better water quality. Cartridge systems should be used in areas where you may experience a water restriction; the system doesn't require backwashing after use which takes up many gallons of water and may not be possible in areas under restriction. Cartridge filters are cleaned simply by soaking them in filter cleaner after use or even rinsing them with a hose. Cartridge filters are a more expensive option than sand filters and need replacing every season or two.

Sand Filter Systems are easier to clean. The system is simply backwashed to flush away debris after each use. Sand being an inexpensive material makes these systems less expensive than cartridge systems and the sand only needs replacing every three to four seasons. A sand system when properly maintained will give you excellent water quality and simple easy use.

Both systems include their version (cartridge or sand) of the Sta-Rite Filter System. Sta-Rite a top-quality piece of equipment in the world of pools is a high-quality tank made of durable polyethylene which is resistant to rust weather and corrosion.
